Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea Tickets

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has all the elements you would want for an entertaining Premier League match.

Two of the fiercest competitors in the league go up against each other in a huge derby confrontation that almost always delivers goals and excitement.

Although Spurs, as they are widely known, have found it difficult to obtain new silverware in recent years, the club in north London has been building its legacy and further enhancing its reputation in the competition.

Having built one of the most advanced stadiums in the country, as well as increasing their efforts to sign the best talent in football, there has been an incredible amount of tangible success that the club can lay claim to.

The Blues, as Chelsea are affectionately known, have become one of the most decorated clubs in English football in recent decades, having raised at least five Premier League titles (6 top division titles in total), as well as having great success in European football.

With the addition of the world-class new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent games, Tottenham Hotspur's fixture against Chelsea is one that continues to grow exponentially.

Despite the capacity of 62,303, it can be almost impossible to get a ticket due to the local rivalry and the atmosphere is one of the best of any campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea head to head

One of Chelsea's most famous victories came in December 1997. The Blues romped to a 6-1 victory at Tottenham's then home, White Hart Lane.

At half-time, the score was 1-1 with Ramon Vega equalising after Tore Andre Flo had given Chelsea the lead. In the second-half Chelsea ran riot with goals from Roberto Di Matteo, Dan Petrescu, Mark Nicholls and two more from Flo, to complete the hat-trick.

Chelsea have a very impressive record at Tottenham yet a couple of games do stick out for the home support here. In April 2012, Spurs smashed Chelsea 5-1 in the League Cup.

And, in February 2023, Spurs beat Graham Potter's Chelsea in a game which subsequently saw the Blues sack another manager in a tumultuous season.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea connections

Of course, with the stature of the two clubs, Tottenham Hotspur versus Chelsea offers fans with the opportunity to see some of the best talent in the game playing at the New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

With the likes of Jose Mourinho having managed both sides, Spurs have been able to call upon Harry Kane and Dele Alli, whereas the Blues have had Eden Hazard and Frank Lampard as their main men in previous fixtures.

Despite their rivalry, a number of players have appeared for both Tottenham and Chelsea. Perhaps most famous of all is Jimmy Greaves, who started at Stamford Bridge, but eventually became Spurs' all-time top goal scorer, until he was surpassed by Harry Kane.

William Gallas, Carlo Cudicini, Gus Poyet and Glenn Hoddle also played for both clubs. Hoddle was a major star for Tottenham in the late 70s and 80s before managing Chelsea before returning to Spurs as a manager in 2001.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea is clearly one of the biggest football matches to be played in England in each campaign because of the fierce rivalry they have with each other, and with both vying for domestic honours and European qualification as well as the addition of bragging rights of the capital, the atmosphere will be a lively one at the New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
